What’s in there?

Some selection of packages to have a nice emacs, some settings to disable
the menu bar and the tool bar, and also the scroll bar, etc. The visual
improvements won’t be such for everybody, don’t hesitate reversing the
defaults here.

Of course if you do alter this file but still want to be able to git pull in
the future, you’d better branch :)

el-get

The author of the emacs-kicker is also the one of el-get, you won’t be
surprised that we’re leveraging it here.

packages

A selection of packages have been selected for you, consider adapting it of
course.

manual steps

Once the first startup is done, consider M-x el-get-emacswiki-refresh so
that you’re able to easily install any package from emacswiki.

How to go from that?

Just add the packages you want to try and need. To do that, try M-x
el-get-install then TAB, and you will have a list

It’s possible that in the future this very simple emacs setup will somewhat
grow into something a little more involved and use several files.

Changing Preferences

If you want a different setup from the basic emacs-kicker here, the
simplest way is certainly to fork the project on github then use your own.
